![]() Now that you guys have some real tools to use hopefully a lot more can be done. There is even a "variable" option with the flash utility which sounds interesting but again I have no idea how it works. I think it should be possible to update just one or two blocks of the BIOS but not being sure how to do it I just went ahead and re-flashed the lot. I only have experience with this on my own notebook so it could very well be a bit different for others but I would hope there is at least some similarity. This section wont always be in the same place with different BIOS versions ie going from f.12 to f.13. ![]() The section that contains the "custom" and "setup(s)" plus a few other things, can be found easily enough, at least on my machine, by using IIRC "flash it.exe /pq" (no space between sh & it) which lists the protected areas, specifically "type 2: variables". ![]() As luck would have it I eventually found the byte that caused the machine to boot with AHCI or Native IDE, and that was that. My theory being it was safer to turn things off, that AHCI was set to "on" by 01 and there weren't so many bytes set to 01. After this I went through each of the bytes that were unknown but set to 01 and set them to 00 one at a time, adjusted the checksum, re-flashed and tried to check what had changed. There is also a "custom" section but I don't know how that works but it looks similar to the "setup" layout.Īt the time it was a case of mapping the functions that were available in the setup utility by turning them on and off and checking which bytes changed in the "setup" section and seeing how the checksum worked. The actual settings live under a section called "setup", there may be several of these as each time changes are made in the BIOS IIRC it updates with a new section until the block is full then it erases them and starts over with a new "setup" section. Changing AHCI to IDE once set survives a cmos reset. On my system I also have an extended cmos area on port 0x72/0x73 which stores the cmos passwords in plain text BTW.Ĭhanging most of the setup settings does not change the cmos memory. To my mind cmos is the battery backed up memory that normally is accessed by port 0x70/0x71. Perhaps I'm missing something here, after all it was late last year that I last played with the InsydeH2O BIOS.

This linearity is one of the areas where Spider-Mans origins as a console game really show through its ancestors arent 3D shooters, but rather run the gamut of platform and punch-kick-and-jump games.

There are three types - total, partial and penumbral - with the most dramatic being a total lunar eclipse, in which Earth’s shadow completely covers the moon.

But where Goodfellas had harsher life-or-death stakes because of the violent, dangerous men at its centre, The Wolf Of Wall Street is pitched as a satire, revelling in Belfort and his colleagues’ materialistic, alpha-male hedonism. But Belfort’s escalating wealth - which is accompanied by rampant drug use and a predilection for hookers - raises the suspicions of Denham (Kyle Chandler), an FBI agent who begins investigating Belfort’s shady business practices.Ĭomparisons to Goodfellas are inevitable and appropriate: Both films are based on real people who serve as the narrator and main character in their stories, guiding us through their lawless worlds until their inevitable downfall. Reinventing himself as a seller of seemingly insignificant penny stocks, Belfort founds Stratton Oakmont, a brokerage house that quickly becomes incredibly successful, essentially by conning unsophisticated clients into buying worthless stocks. ![]() Expect good reviews and awards play to contribute to sturdy theatrical grosses well into the new year.ĭiCaprio plays Belfort, who got hooked on the adrenaline rush of working on Wall Street in his 20s, only to watch the firm where he was employed collapse during the stock market crash of 1987. The lengthy running time may hurt box office some, but high visibility and a glitzy storyline that parades shameless Wall Street excess should help considerably. Opening December 25 in the US, this Paramount offering boasts considerable star power thanks to DiCaprio, not to mention the cachet of Oscar-winner Scorsese behind the camera. But those shades of déjà vu don’t diminish from this movie’s sober recounting of the greedy, remorseless monsters who have cataclysmically altered the country’s (and the world’s) financial landscape. The Wolf Of Wall Street can’t entirely escape a feeling of familiarity - both because Scorsese has pursued familiar terrain before and because this is his fifth film with star Leonardo DiCaprio. ![]() The Wolf Of Wall Street feels like a rehash of one of Scorsese’s favourite themes - people’s willingness to embrace crime to attain the American dream - but here there’s more anger and ambiguity in the telling. Based on Jordan Belfort’s memoir of his time working on Wall Street, this dark comedy rubs our nose in its amoral tone for three hours, producing a luridly watchable, often funny tale of the rise and fall of an unscrupulous young broker in the 1980s and ‘90s. From the 1960s to just the modern time period, these movies encompass some of the best that the crime and comedy genres have to offer.Goodfellas without the guns, The Wolf Of Wall Street finds director Martin Scorsese once again essaying an epic on American corruption, except this time it’s in the land of stockbrokers instead of mobsters. We've added an extra 5 to this list for those interested in the development of the distinct style shown in the movie and those who just want more of the same engaging comedy and drama. Updated on March 21st, 2021 by Mark Birrell: The Wolf of Wall Street sits at such a critical point in the history of the crime movie that there are a number of other movies to recommend for fans, whether they inspired the movie or were inspired by it. There are definitely similarly great movies for The Wolf of Wall Street fans to seek out – including a few other Scorsese gems. It was also a lot of fun, chronicling the incredible highs and dangerous lows of Belfort’s rampant corruption and fraud on Wall Street. RELATED: 8 Martin Scorsese Movies That Are Better Than Every Marvel Movie Ever Made (According To Metacritic) It was the story of real-life scammer Jordan Belfort vividly brought to life thanks to standout performances from the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, and Margot Robbie. But Martin Scorsese’s expletive-laden biographical crime comedy saga was so much more than that. The Wolf of Wall Street wasn’t just one of the best films of 2013, it was nothing short of a cultural phenomenon, spawning parodies, internet memes, and instantly quotable lines aplenty. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Boston Globe critic Ken Capobianco exalted Mars's vocals on the recording as "one of his best" on the album. Rivas found the lyrics to convey a "nice" and "positive" message, adding that the single "shows some similarities with his other singles but not to much detriment".
